As a former LA Fitnes Personal Training Director, I would advise against training there. For about the same cost as other, locally owned gyms, you can get an hour session for what you would pay there for a 25 minute session... yes, 25 minutes. I would recommend that you research other smaller fitness companies because many of the larger ones will loop you into a contract. LA Fitness wanted us to sell 12 month 'agreements' (AKA Contracts), which sometimes included a $99 enrollment fee and a $50 processing fee, so that 149 plus your first month of sessions can range from $360 to almost 600+ dollars, up front, depending on what you wanted to do. Yes, there are sometimes specials on programs with lower rates, but in all honesty, if you would like to get more out of your dollar, find somewhere else. For instance my gym, we do packages of hour long sessions starting around $60 per session for a 5 pack to $55 per session for packages of 10 or more. Just do your research, and try not to get closed on a program that will not live up to all the promises the sales guys will tell you.

Be careful with the trainers you work with from LA Fitness or any gym for that matter. Dont just ask if they have a certification but dive into their background, education, experience and style first. Also talk to some of their clients and see if they are happy and have gotten results from working with them.
